Using an interdisciplinary approach, it integrates socio-ecological methods to assess coastal interactions and proposes innovative solutions for decision-making and adaptation. In collaboration with Cuban institutions and Hasselt University. Within this context, the project provides advanced methodologies, technical training, and global networks. The project analyzes perceptions of mangrove services via surveys and interviews, integrating scientific and traditional knowledge into sustainable management.
